Quoted By:

>In NJPW, where calls for a generational shift have been ongoing for years, opinions will be divided on whether this veteran vs. veteran title match reflects the failure of the younger generation or the depth of NJPW's roster. Personally, I have high expectations for this bout—Goto finally achieving his long-awaited title reign in his 22nd year and Tanahashi heading toward his retirement at next year’s January 4 Tokyo Dome show.

>There is no definitive timeframe for NJPW’s "Dark Ages," but when Goto and Tanahashi first clashed for the IWGP at Ryogoku Kokugikan in November 2007, the company was still struggling. Now NJPW President, Tanahashi recalls with a wry smile, "Since it's past the statute of limitations, I'll say it—the real attendance was 2,200. (Note: the official number announced was 6,500)."

>However, despite the visible empty seats, the 31-minute, 22-second war between 30-year-old Tanahashi and 28-year-old Goto ignited genuine passion in the venue. "The cheers were almost miraculous—it didn’t sound like just 2,200 people. From that moment, NJPW started rising again," Tanahashi said. Goto echoed the sentiment, saying, "I take pride in the fact that our fight back then helped NJPW regain its energy." Both men view this match as a turning point in NJPW's resurgence from the Dark Ages.
